The Osborne Association, Inc.
Osborne's Court Advocacy Services (CAS) has recently expanded into Westchester County, who recently passed a law establishing an independent Assigned Counsel Plan. CAS proposes to serve individuals charged with a misdemeanor and/or felony-level offense who are subject to a sentence of incarceration. Local CAS mitigation specialists will conduct a thorough client assessment, including document review, biopsychosocial interview, use of standardized tools, and background investigation, and then use the assessment findings to develop an individual case plan and present it to the court, supported by the necessary work products, such as Bail Applications and Pre-Plea or Pre-Sentence Memoranda. Defense counsel will use this material to promote a range of alternatives, including probation, substance use disorder treatment, educational or employment programs, case dismissals, reduced charges, lower sentencing ranges, and the adjudication of Youthful Offender status. CAS plans may also include recommendations for deferred sentencing so that defendants in community programs can prove their commitment to rehabilitation while a plea deal is being negotiated and earn the best outcome possible. CAS staff will also provide case management to clients through the pendency of their court cases, extending this support for up to six months post-mandate as needed.
